The exhibition kicks off on Tuesday, July 9th, with a special reception on Friday, July 12th, from 5-8pm. Mark your calendars for an evening of captivating art and engaging conversations!
Since its establishment as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in August 2021, Strata Gallery has become a beacon of diversity and innovation in Santa Fe. Renowned for its commitment to showcasing artwork based purely on artistic merit, Strata offers a bold and refreshing perspective in the contemporary art scene. Our artists, rigorously peer-reviewed by esteemed professors from college art departments nationwide, bring unparalleled creativity and vision to the gallery.
A highlight of Strata’s mission is the mentorship of emerging artists by Established Members. Each year, five emerging artists are selected for mentorship and given the opportunity to present a solo exhibition at the gallery.
This year’s exhibition features twenty-two exceptional artists from across the country:
Adrian Aguirre (TX), Anne-Katrin Spiess (NY), Bernice Ficek-Swenson (MN), Beverly Todd (NM), Carlos Canul (TX), Chloe Hanken (NM), David Olivant (NM), Emma Ressel (NM), Jandey Shackelford (AZ), Jane Shoenfeld (NM), Katie Simmons (CO), Keanu Jones (NM), Margi Weir (NM), Max Sorenson (NM), Millian Giang Pham (AL), Mirabel Wigon (CA), Peter Chapin (NM), Shelby Shadwell (WY), Stephanie Gonzalez (TX), Susan Stephenson (CA), Tulu Bayar (PA), and Xuan Pham (MA).
The works on display delve into a myriad of urgent and thought-provoking themes, reflecting the pressing concerns and discoveries of our time. From hybridity and fragmentation, cultural identity, and the nature of consciousness, to border politics, myths, rituals, and archetypes, each piece offers a unique and innovative perspective.
The exhibition also addresses issues such as accountability, climate change, environmental degradation, landscape nostalgia, tradition, materiality, decay, and the adaptation of aesthetic principles to meet contemporary challenges. Join us at Strata Gallery for this exciting exhibition and experience the powerful and diverse voices shaping the future of art!
